“By doing so, community radios are asserting their role as agents of social change and are demonstrating once again their importance as preferred vehicles for education and for the empowerment of women”, says Francesco Diasio, Secretary General of AMARC.

Let’s recall that, at its World Conference in La Plata, Argentina, in 2010, AMARC firmly took position against gender-based violence stating that “community radio stations express their solidarity and denounce all forms of sexual or gender violence, from domestic violence to armed conflict.” (…) and asking “States and governments for the recognition of the UN Convention for the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, the Platform for Action of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security.”
